GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are three different types of cartilage in the human body: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage (see table below). For example, hyaline cartilage connects the ribs to the sternum and is called the costal cartilage (see image/gif animation below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage exists on the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones. It gives the structures a definite but pliable form. The presence of collagen fibres makes such structures and joints strong, but with limited mobility and flexibility.
